Chapter 14: A New surprise

Rin walked out of the small village house and snuck towards the woods. The sun wasn't even starting to rise Her stomach was starting to pulse again and she could feel vomit starting to rise up to her throat. She couldn't remember the last time she felt so sick. Then she thought and remembered how she had felt the same way the morning before. It was starting to scare her. Her thoughts were interrupted when her throat began to burn and she ran into the woods.

At the same time Shippou was waking up from a bad dream when he noticed Rin leave the house. He grew slightly concerned because he had seen Rin leave before. Doing the only thing he could think off he shook Kagome wake, "Kagome! Kagome wake up!" he whispered.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, "What is it Shippou what's wrong?" she asked concerned, "Are you all right?"

Shippou nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine. But I saw Rin walk out just a few minutes ago. She looked like she was sick or something." The fox demon's eyes were filled with worry.

Kagome kicked back her covers, "Stay here. I'll go check it out." To be on the save side she grabbed her bow and quiver full of arrow, "If anyone asks Rin and I went for a walk to have a woman to woman talk all right?" Little did she knew it wasn't a lie. As she headed towards the forest she thought she could hear some gagging sounds.

Rin finished emptying her stomach and looked around. Why she felt like this she didn't know but it was scaring her each time it happened. Her thoughts were shattered when she heard leaves rustling.

Kagome noticed Rin standing there clutching her stomach, "Rin what's wrong are you ill?"

Rin shook her head, "No I'm fine. At least for now I am."

Kagome took a hold of Rin's hand and led her to a clearing, "Rin have you been sick before?"

Rin looked down, "Actually yes, I've been sick to my stomach for a while now but I didn't want to bother anyone."

Kagome smiled, "Rin tell me have you and Sesshomaru well…"

Rin's face grew dark red, "Well as a matter of fact yes. But what does that have to do with anything?"

"Have you been experiencing any weird cravings?" Kagome asked.

"Well now that I think about it, I found your ninja snacks dipped in sake delicious the other night. Why?" Rin asked thinking back to that delicious combination and remembering the strange look InuYasha had given her.

"Well have you missed your crimson flow at all? (that's what they call it back then in this story).

Rin nodded, "Actually yes, I didn't get it last month and I'm late again this month, why?"

Kagome smiled, "I may be wrong but I think you might be with child."

Rin looked at Kagome in shock, "WHAT?!"

Kagome laughed, "Everything fits. But I think it would be best if we have a doctor take a look at you. I think there's one in this village, a female."

Rin placed a hand on her stomach, "Think we can go see her now, it's not that early."

Kagome nodded, "Sure, I'll come with you."

Rin followed the older woman into the village and stopped a random villager, "Excuse us, is there a priestess or a medicine woman staying in your village?"

The elderly gentleman smiled, "Yes as a matter of fact the medicine woman of this village is my wife," he took a hold of Kagome's hand, "Come with me."

Rin followed and the two of them entered a small house just at the center of the village, "Kagome, aren't the others going to wonder where we are?"

Kagome smiled, "Don't worry Shippou knows what to do."

"So if you pardon my rudeness, what seems to be the problem with you nice young ladies?" the old man asked.

Kagome laughed, "Oh, nothing wrong with me. It's my friend here. She's well, she's been late for 2 months with woman's troubles you know."

The man's eyes widened as he looked at her stomach, "You mean?
Rin smiled, "Well that's what we are coming here to find out."

The two of them followed the man into the house and was greeted by a woman who sort of reminded Kagome of Kaede, "What seems to be the trouble my friends?"

Rin's face grew as red as her pants (remember she's dressed in a priestess kimono), "Uh, well." She looked to Kagome with eyes pleading for help.

Kagome smiled, "Well my friend here has been late with her well you know and she's showing all signs of carrying."

The older woman smiled, "Well before we do anything, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hisako and that is my husband, Hisashi."

"My name is Kagome and this is my friend Rin." Kagome introduced the two of them seeing as Rin was still speechless.

"Now then, let us beginning." Hisako said. (Ok, I have no idea how they checked for pregnancy back then so I'm going to do myself a favor and go to the next part ok!)

"Are you sure?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, and from what you have told me she is about 2 months along." Hisako said smiling, "Congratulations my dear, in a matter of seven months you will bear a child!"

Kagome laughed joyfully, "Oh that's wonderful, I'm so…" she turned to see Rin crying, "Rin what's the matter?"

Rin looked at Kagome, "I'm scared."

"Why what's wrong?" Kagome asked. She turned to Hisako, "could you excuse us for a moment?"

Hisako nodded, "Of course take your time.

Kagome nodded in thanks, "Now Rin tell me why you're crying?"

Rin looked up at her friends with tear-filled eyes, "Kagome, you do know what happened to me that night when I was capture by Rinuko right?"

Kagome thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, actually we just figured he abused you."

Rin looked down in shame, "Please don't tell anyone this. Sesshomaru it doesn't matter because he saw me, but…" she sniffled, "That bastard, he, he took away what was rightfully mine."

Kagome gasped. How could a man do such a thing. No wonder Rin was so downhearted when they had returned to the village that night, "Oh, Rin. That doesn't mean anything."

"Why not? The child I'm carrying could very well be his!" Rin said furiously, "If I'm carrying that bastard's child I don't know what I'll do. I don't know what Sesshomaru will do."

Kagomge sighed, "Well, I know one thing. We can't keep this a secret. You're going to show in another month or so, and then it will be impossible to hide."

Rin buried her face in her friend's shoulder, "Oh Kagome, what am I going to do?"

"Well first things first. We have to tell the others and get it out into the open. The longer you keep this a secret, the harder it will be if you wait to long to tell it."

Rin nodded and pulled herself to her feet, "Miss, Hisako?"

The older woman walked out, "Yes, my dear?"

Rin looked up, "Thank you for helping me."

Hisako smiled, "No thanks needed. You just be sure to come back and show me your little one once they are born."

Rin weakly smiled, "I promise." She turned to Kagome, "Let's go."

Kagome nodded and the two of them headed towards the house, "Can you tell if Sesshomaru in the house with the others?"

Rin filled her nostrils and nodded, "Yes, for once he is socializing." She joked. She knew her mate well enough to know that he didn't like being with other people, save her and Jaken (on rare occasions).

"Where in the world have you two been?" InuYasha asked placing his foot on Shippou's head.

"I already told you Inuyasha they both went out for a walk and talk." Shippou said angrily.

"Don't lie Shippou!" InuYasha said.

"InuYasha sit!" Kagome commanded and the half demon crashed into the floor breaking a floorboard, "Are you all right Shippou?"

No surprise, Shippou had a bump on his head, "Yeah, I'm fine, but he wouldn't believe what I said."

Kagome smiled, "Don't worry about it." She turned to Rin who stood up in front of the others, "Rin go ahead.

Rin sighed deeply as she turned towards Sesshomaru who was simply staring off into space, "I have some important news." Everyone went on about their business, "Kagome and I have returned from the medicine woman." No response. Rin looked at Kagome and mouthed, 'I'm sorry.' Before exiting the house she announced, "I'm going to have a baby."

That got everyone's attention….
